CHAMPAGNE RECEPTION 30th June 2016

A champagne reception to celebrate the renovation of Thomas Chatterton's birthplace by Bristol City Council, and its new use as 'Chatterton’s Cafe'. The Event represents a unique opportunity to celebrate both this historic occasion and the life and work of "One of England's greatest poets" - Oscar Wilde. The Event is supplemented by an exhibition and booklet of some of the important poets who were deeply influenced and inspired by Thomas Chatterton.

The Thomas Chatterton Society Committee would like to thank all of our guests, Bristol City Council, Chatterton's Cafe, Aqua Vita Films, Sat Events, Blast Event Hire, St Mary Redcliffe & Temple School, Avery's Wine Merchants and The Lord Mayor of Bristol for their contributions to what was for us a memorable and historic occasion. We trust that it would have met with the approval of Thomas Chatterton - "Bristol's Shakespeare" and "marvellous Boy".
